By integrating leading VFD technology with robust protective components into a single, compact enclosure, we deliver a turnkey solution that enhances performance, extends equipment life, and significantly reduces operational costs.
What is a VFD Control Panel?
A VFD Control Panel is a complete, enclosed system that houses a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) along with all necessary peripheral components such as disconnects, circuit breakers, fuses, bypass circuitry, human-machine interfaces (HMIs), communication modules, and cooling systems. It offers a secure, centralized, and pre-engineered solution for controlling the speed and direction of AC induction motors, eliminating the need for complex on-site wiring and integration.
